🗣️ New paper! 🗣️ The mobility patterns of the population of Gallo-Roman Tienen (Belgium) are keeping you up at night? Wondering if there is more than mobility reflected in these 87Sr/86Sr results? This is very relatable, and conveniently, I have the right paper for you! It's accessible right there 👇

We are on our way to @isba11.bsky.social 🚅 Ready for a week of archaeology and science 🏺🦴🦷🧪⚛️🥼🍝🍕

ISBA11 Turin@isba11.bsky.social · 12mo ago

ISBA11 starts tomorrow, and we have just one question for you... are you ready for it? #ISBA11 #biomoleculararchaeology #turin #Archaeology #Italy #conference #AreYouReady @isbarchaeology.bsky.social @archaeobiomics.bsky.social

Our bioavailable strontium baseline for Corsica is out! ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ranges from 0.7075 to 0.7169 and was established from 245 plant & soil leachate samples from 125 sites. Check out the article here lnkd.in/e6pDJFCY and the dataset can be downloaded from the IsoArcH database here lnkd.in/eFNS5Xbw

IsoArcH is organizing its first Addithon, a 10-day virtual community event! This event will bring volunteers together from all over the world, to add to this ever-growing open data repository for isotopes from archaeological research. bit.ly/IsoArcH2025

IsoArcH Addithon 2025

This form is used to sign up for the IsoArcH Addithon to be run from 11-20 August 2025.

📢 New paper alert! 📢 I’m really happy to share our latest publication in AJBA! We explore how sampling cremated petrous parts & teeth helps reconstruct life histories and cremation practices 🔥. You can find our paper through this link: doi.org/10.1002/ajpa... (1/6)

Reconstructing Life Histories: New Insights Into Cremation Practices, Mobility, and Food Consumption Patterns Through Isotope and Infrared Analyses of Petrous Parts and Teeth

This graph shows the strontium results of the individuals from Herstal, Belgium.

This multiproxy analysis of the large Tilburg-Udenhoutseweg urnfield uncovered social networks! Local mobility and preferential land use was seen and nonadults & women were enjoying different diets than men! 🔥🦴🌿🍖

Practitioner preferences in the analysis of cremation deposits in archaeology and biological anthropology: An overview of current osteoarchaeological practices with a focus on sex estimation

Osteological data, such as biological sex, constitute a base for research in paleodemography and palaeopathology, as well as for understanding past socio-cultural practices. Despite extensive research...

Time & Space! At this years Wetenschapfestival Brussel, our @amgc-vub.bsky.social team presented themes of both archaeology and cosmo chemistry under one roof, presenting samples, creating art, and giving out free (temporary) tattoos 🦷🦴🔥☄️🌘🪨🚀 Well done to the whole team!

Hello, we are the Brussels Bioarchaeology Lab, a team based at VUB researching archaeological mobility, diet, health, cremation conditions, plants, animals and more from all around the 🌍 and from the Neolithic to the present. 🦴⚱️🔥🦷🗺👩‍🔬 Follow us and our team here: go.bsky.app/Cg378Ev

Hello everyone! A little introduction to myself 🙋🏼‍♀️ I am from the UK originally 🇬🇧 but have spent time in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 doing my masters and am now a second year PhD at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel 🇧🇪

👋Hello Bluesky, I'm Hannah, a postdoc fellow at @brusselsbioarch.bsky.social, working on unravelling archaeological diets by using stable (δ⁸⁸Sr) & radiogenic (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr) strontium isotopes & concentrations in tooth enamel & cremated bones. I'm a big fan of anything isotopic & archaeological! 🦴🦷🔥

Just started a new pack for #isotope bioarchaeologists, ecologists and so on.😀🧪 Let me know if you would like to be in/out! Hope it can help.🙌 go.bsky.app/FpHPMC6
